Results (14th & 15th December)

Greetings amigos,

As we approach the crucial festive period of the season, things could not be tighter at the top of the overall table, with just 1 point separating the top three managers.  Our current league leader is Mr Luke after he scored a very solid 10 points including 2 spot-ons, outscoring Mr Stewart-Jones (8) and Mr Raistrick (7) in the process to go top by virtue of a greater spot-ons haul than SJ.  Elsewhere Mr O'Callaghan was the leading scorer of the week with an impressive 12 points, which took him above Mr Crinnion in the overall standings, as Nick amassed 4 points this time around.  To complete the picture, I scored 8 points, Mr Moore 6 and Mr West 4.

Any mistakes let me know - festive fixture list to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Matchday 4

Greetings amigos,

Matchday 4 saw possibly the tightest set of encounters in the history of The Soares Cup, as there was nothing to separate managers in two of the three matches.  Groups A and B both produced draws this time around, as Adam and Theo W shared 10 points and Phil and Ben shared 12 points in their respective fixtures.  The main beneficiary in Group A was Nick, who has a 4 point advantage over the chasing pack with 2 games remaining.  Things are much tighter in Group B, with just 2 points separating top from bottom in the group.  In Group C I managed the only win of the round, as I overcame Theo L 8-5 to open up a 3 point lead at the top of the standings.

Any mistakes let me know - matchday 5 will take place during the fixtures of 11th / 12th January.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (7th & 8th December)

Greetings amigos,

Another low scoring week this time around, with no managers achieving double figures from the weekend's games.  Mr Stewart-Jones uncharacteristically stumbled as he scored 3 points, which provided an opportunity for the chasing pack.  Mr Raistrick was the main beneficiary, as he scored 6 points to level SJ's overall tally and leapfrog him into top spot on account of his greater haul of spot-ons.  Elsewhere Mr Crinnion and myself top scored with 8 points apiece, whilst Mr Moore scored 6 points and Mr West, Mr Luke and Mr O'Callaghan all scored 5.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (30th November & 1st December)

Greetings amigos,

The final fixtures of November produced some surprising results, and as such the scoring at the end of the month was pretty low; music to the ears of Mr Crinnion, who, despite only scoring 3 points in total (2 in November, 1 in December) managed to hold onto his top spot in the monthly race to secure the eighteenth MotM award of his career to date - congratulations amigo!  Mr West was the standout performer as he added 11 points to his tally, including an eye-catching 5 pointer from the 2-2 draw at Carrow Road.  Elsewhere scoring was of the middle-of-the-road variety, as Mr Stewart-Jones, Mr Raistrick and myself scored 7 apiece, Mr O'Callaghan 6, Mr Luke 5 and Mr Moore 3.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures sent earlier today.

Take it easy,

Danny
